RTCC will be bringing you live coverage from the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro from Wednesday 13 June to Friday 22 June.
We’ll be based at the Rio Conventions Pavilion, a venue sponsored by the three Conventions that were created in 1992 – the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), and the Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).
The 10 days at the Pavilion will see UN leaders, business and politics combine to develop the theme of ‘Sustainable Development’, and attempt to establish what it means for the Conventions and the Environment.
We’ll follow those developments every step of the way, while keeping an eye on the high-level talks in Rio. Our team will bring you TV interviews, podcasts, news and analysis from the summit.
To contact our team in Rio email [email protected], Tweet us @RTCCnewswire or leave us a message on our Facebook page.
Better still – come and find us at the Rio Conventions Pavilion and tell us what you think can be achieved at Rio+20.
